-=nt/INSTALL.w64= provides detailed instructions for compiling Emacs on
-recent Windows versions. Here are some additional steps I had to
-figure out on my own:
-* Mingw-w64
-- Set =$HOME= to =%HOMEPATH%= by changing =db_home= to =windows= in
- =c:/msys64/etc/fstab=.
-- In addition to =c:\msys64\mingw64\bin=, adding =c:\msys64\usr\bin=
- to the system =PATH= allows Emacs to access applications installed
- with =pacman=.
- - It's not obvious whether the Mingw-w64 =PATH= entries should go
- last (in which case Emacs will pick the wrong ~find~ command) or
- first (in which case… /everything else/ will pick the wrong ~find~
- command?). At least Emacs has a variable to configure
- (~find-program~).
-* Compiling
-Make sure to specify ~-c core.autocrlf=false~ *when cloning* the Emacs
-repository; ~autogen.sh~ gets confused otherwise.
-* Configuring
-AFAICT one must set the variable ~shell-file-name~ explicitly to
-=c:/msys64/usr/bin/bash.exe=, otherwise Emacs's Windows-specific
-initialization logic uses a built-in shell ersatz (=nt/cmdproxy.c=).
-** TODO =HOME=
-Went with the instructions from [[info:emacs#MS-Windows Registry]]; could
-maybe use [[info:emacs#Windows HOME]] by setting =HOME= to =%HOMEPATH%=,
-to avoid having to spell out my username?
